ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 126
Note When import source fields and target fields are mapped using matching names, field
name matching is performed dynamically each time the script step is performed.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
You can set the import order and use the Specify import order option, or perform this script step
with the dialog box so the user can set new criteria, such as importing data as a new table.
If the source file is open, the found set is imported; if not, all records in the source table are imported.
When you include this script step in a FileMaker Server scheduled script and you do not select
Perform without dialog, the text (NOT compatible) appears after the script step. The script,
however, will run. The behavior will be the same as if Perform without dialog was selected. See
Get(DocumentsPathListing) function for more information.
If you schedule a FileMaker Server script to do any of the following, you will receive an error:
• importing records to new table
• importing records from a folder
• importing images to a container field
Notes
• Be aware that there are possible security issues with using https, httpspost, and ftps.
FileMaker cannot perform a certificate check to verify that the server that you specify is the
server that replies. If these security issues are not acceptable in your situation, then do not
use this script step.
• When using the Import Records script step or Export Records script step in a
FileMaker
Server scheduled script, keep the following in mind:
• Any specified file must be in the FileMaker Server Documents folder, the temporary
folder, or a child folder of either the FileMaker
Server Documents folder or the
temporary folder. For example, the following are all valid paths for file.csv:
<Documents>/file.csv
<Temporary Path>/file.csv
<Documents>/Folder1/file.csv
<Temporary Path>/Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/Folder4/file.csv
